The ship was purchased by Matson Line in 1947 and renamed Hawaiian Packer. The historic Kamchatka earthquake 1952 November 4 16:58:26.0 UTC Magnitude 9.0 generated a tsunami wave in Honolulu harbor which sent a cement barge from its moorings to collide against the freighter.[1] It was sold to U.S. Maritime Commission in 1964 and renamed Pecos in 1966. It was scrapped in 1971.[2]
